I am sure ya'll have found yourselves in uncomfortable situations. A situation where your boss or an older person demeans you. That would happen in the 1980s and '90s because people lived in fear. Children were punished and put into situations as if it were the end of the world. Earlier generations were taught to submit and never question anything, but Gen Z cannot accept such nonsense. The millennials went through the same torment, but they are slowly coming out of it. Here are several psychology hacks that can help you put someone who is demeaning you into his/her own place. Dark psychology has for a long time been used by narcissists, but you can also use it for your own benefit. Without considering gaslighting, exploitation, guilt-tripping, and backstabbing, you can wittingly employ paltering, manipulation, triangulation and love bombing to have your way.
Consider the following eleven ways that dark psychology can be useful and help you survive in a toxic work environment.

1. If your boss or supervisor is being mean to you, and constantly harasses you at your workstation, you can hit them up with, " Excuse me, you have something in your teeth," when asked to make a comment after he/she is done lecturing you. This will make them feel awkward and might stop them from being mean.
2.  Sometimes saying no directly will make you a target, so you need to master the art of sandwiching your nay between two positives. A marinated nay would be, "I love that you have considered me for this assignment, but I might not meet the deadline."
3. Be ambiguous: Corporate environments thrive on clarity, but sometimes ambiguity can be your shield.
4. If you can make people laugh, they will find you 88% more attractive.
5. If you act really happy and excited to see others, they will usually respond the same way.
6. When you need a favour, start with "I need your help..." This makes the other person feel important, and they’ll be more likely to help you.
7. Pay sh!t for sh!t. This is my best principle. Never let anyone put you in a position of being at their mercy. If you need a service from them, and they keep taking you around, let them be and seek the same service from somebody else. I needed some legal services and sought them from a lawyer "friend" whom we schooled with in high school. After paying this dude some fee, he started acting like he was doing me a favour. That is when I invoked it and blocked him. 
8. If you see two people fighting, observe the fight while making sense of what they’re fighting about and walk away.
9. If you are kind to them, they will never be kind to you.
10. Humans are animals, capable of so many behaviours. So be an animal like the other animals.
11. Do not be quick to apologise.

What is Your Treasure?

 A few years ago when I was in college, we had a discussion with my friends on what mattered to each one of us. Someone was asked, in the event of a fire, people drowning, or even an Earthquake, and you happen to be with the whole of your family in that situation, who or what would you save? Say you had your parents, sisters, brothers, your laptop, money, gold, wife, and children, who or what will you save? I want to pose the same question to you. Who or what will you save? I know how tricky it is. I do understand because it wasn't easy for us too. Somehow some of us felt like we would save our parents, and in the order of priority mom the dad, whereas some claimed that they would save their children. But again, I love my wife. She is the mother of my children. If I save my children and let their mother drown or get burnt, how will my children view me? Were it not for my parents, I wouldn't be here, I also do love them. In all honesty, they would be the first ones to be saved. ...

Are You a Man Under 30 Years? Here are 9-Under-30-Years Commandments

9 Advices to a Man Under 30 Years  Growing up, I never had the privilege to get advice from a 30-year-old man on what awaited me when I hit the third floor. I guess growing up with a career dad did not do me all the good but he did his part by ensuring that we had a comfortable life. I therefore had to figure things out myself after getting to 30 years old. Here are my lessons that might also help you. 1. Until you have defined what life is, never commit to a woman. 2. Do not take long before you move out of your parents' house. Even as you do this, always be ready to go back when things do not work out, because at some point in life, you will need to rethink and restrategise. 3. If you have an income in your 20s, use that money to build yourself. If you are into land, buy as much as you can. I always tell my students, if at any point in life, you have the resources but do not know where to invest, just go and buy a piece of land.  4. Do not spend more than two years in a job ...

As I get Old

 They told us it was just a number, but the reality is that age is more than just a number. It marks a significant change in our bodies and lifestyles. Some get wise as they age, whilst foolishness abounds in others. As I get older, I have come to realise several things. 1. Simplicity wins. As you age, you realise that the minimalistic principle is the best. You crave simple things in life, provided that you can meet your needs. 2. Friends, even the close ones, will not stay in your life forever. The energy diminishes as you age. 3. The most important relationship is not the one you have with your children or spouse, but with yourself. 4. Nobody cares about your hard work, but the results. 5. Heartache and failure are normal. 6. Truthfulness becomes a habit 7. Quality over quantity. 8. The difference between 20 and 40 is not 20. Time really flies when you are 20 years. 9. Petite always wins. So, when choosing your partner, get yourself a beautiful petite one. 10. December is not as...
